New Analytics reports and Azure Boards app available for Slack
Published date: 26 July, 2019
In the Sprint 155 Update of Azure DevOps, we are introducing new Azure Boards reports to make it easier for you to track important team metrics. You will see the new reports under the Analytics tab in the Boards, Backlog and Sprint hubs. These reports are fully interactive and allow you to adjust them to meet your needs. In addition, we are excited to announce the new Azure Boards app for Slack. The app will let you monitor work item activity and create work items from your Slack channel.
In pipelines, we now let you add manual approvals in multi-stage YAML pipelines. We also continue to improve the Kubernetes integration.
